net: phy: Fix lack of reference count on PHY driver
[ Upstream commit cafe8df8b9bc9aa3dffa827c1a6757c6cd36f657 ] There is currently no reference count being held on the PHY driver, which makes it possible to remove the PHY driver module while the PHY state machine is running and polling the PHY. This could cause crashes similar to this one to show up: [ 43.361162] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000140 [ 43.361162] IP: phy_state_machine+0x32/0x490 [ 43.361162] PGD 59dc067 [ 43.361162] PUD 0 [ 43.361162] [ 43.361162] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 43.361162] Modules linked in: dsa_loop [last unloaded: broadcom] [ 43.361162] CPU: 0 PID: 1299 Comm: kworker/0:3 Not tainted 4.10.0-rc5+ #415 [ 43.361162] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Ubuntu-1.8.2-1ubuntu2 04/01/2014 [ 43.361162] Workqueue: events_power_efficient phy_state_machine [ 43.361162] task: ffff880006782b80 task.stack: ffffc90000184000 [ 43.361162] RIP: 0010:phy_state_machine+0x32/0x490 [ 43.361162] RSP: 0018:ffffc90000187e18 EFLAGS: 00000246 [ 43.361162] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff8800059e53c0 RCX: ffff880006a15c60 [ 43.361162] RDX: ffff880006782b80 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff8800059e5428 [ 43.361162] RBP: ffffc90000187e48 R08: ffff880006a15c40 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 43.361162] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff8800059e5428 [ 43.361162] R13: ffff8800059e5000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff880006a15c40 [ 43.361162] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff880006a00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 43.361162] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 43.361162] CR2: 0000000000000140 CR3: 0000000005979000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 [ 43.361162] Call Trace: [ 43.361162] process_one_work+0x1b4/0x3e0 [ 43.361162] worker_thread+0x43/0x4d0 [ 43.361162] ? __schedule+0x17f/0x4e0 [ 43.361162] kthread+0xf7/0x130 [ 43.361162] ? process_one_work+0x3e0/0x3e0 [ 43.361162] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x40/0x40 [ 43.361162] ret_from_fork+0x29/0x40 [ 43.361162] Code: 56 41 55 41 54 4c 8d 67 68 53 4c 8d af 40 fc ff ff 48 89 fb 4c 89 e7 48 83 ec 08 e8 c9 9d 27 00 48 8b 83 60 ff ff ff 44 8b 73 98 <48> 8b 90 40 01 00 00 44 89 f0 48 85 d2 74 08 4c 89 ef ff d2 8b Keep references on the PHY driver module right before we are going to utilize it in phy_attach_direct(), and conversely when we don't use it anymore in phy_detach().
